 Corning invented the world’s  first low-loss optical fiber in 1970. Since that milestone, Corning  has  continued to pioneer optical fiber, cable, and connectivity solutions.As global bandwidth demand  driven by video usage grows exponentially, telecommunications networks continue  to migrate from copper to optical-based systems that can deliver the required  cost-effective bandwidth-carrying capacity. Corning is now  in a unique position to design and deliver optical solutions that reach every  edge of the communications network.
 This  segment is classified into two main product groupings – carrier network and  enterprise network. The carrier network group consists primarily of products  and solutions for optical-based communications infrastructure for services such  as video, data, and voice communications. The enterprise network group consists  primarily of optical-based communication networks sold to businesses,  governments, and individuals for their own use.
